A note about the picante sauce: The recipe apparently gets its name from picante taco sauce. However, I used regular mild picante sauce. I’m not sure if our local stores carry picante taco sauce. And, of course, you can always use a hotter sauce if you want a spicier casserole.

This is a recipe that’s easy to personalize to your tastes and likes. For example, you can choose to use mild, medium or hot sauce — even chili beans. You can use more onions, too, and vary the types of cheese. Enjoy!

Finally, I have an update on the search for dried green peppers. Craig resident Janis Brown called this week to tell me dried green peppers can be purchased from Allison’s Pantry. They are offered in bulk. Janis has turned in an order with Allison’s Pantry, so when she gets a call that it’s ready, she will find us a contact number. Thanks, Janis!
